    Default Draft Machining in 3D

    How do I change the shape of the material to match my part so it wont machine on the outside of it? I am machining a V shape cube with 20 degrees draft on 2 sides.

    Can you post a screen shot of what you are trying to do.

    If I understand your problem, you need to create a vector boundary around the area you want to machine. You can either draw it or use the "Create vector boundary from selected components" Modeling tool. You can then choose "Selected Vectors" in the "Machining Limit Boundary". The material shape always remains rectangular.
